VERSE:
F
Tell you a story and it starts with time
E
Moves to how you live, and learn how to die
C C2 G
Another phase in this world that brings death to life
F
So don't believe in everything you see
E
Because what you want might not be what you need
C C2 G
Hold your breath, jump with me and we'll survive
F E G G2 G3 G4
Cause you are the song that leads me to the light

CHORUS:
C3 G5 C3 F2
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
D4 D D2 F4
Alone is the street where you found me
C3 G5
Scared of what's behind you
C3 F2
And scared of what's in front
D4 D
Live with what you have now
D2 F4
And make the best of what's to come

INTRO: N/A

VERSE:
F
Tell me a story long and true
E
We aren't what we say
We are what we do
C C2 G
Just pieces of a puzzle to find where we stand just to confused
F E G G2 G3 G4
So you are the moon that pulls me through the night

CHORUS:
C3 G5 C3 F2
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
D4 D D2 F4
Alone is the street where you found me
C3 G5
Scared of what's behind you
C3 F2
And scared of what's in front
D4 D
Live with what you have now
D2 F4
And make the best of what's to come

THE INTERLUDE HERE IS THE SAME AS THE CHORUS. REPEAT 2X

CHORUS AGAIN:
C3 G5 C3 F2
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
D4 D D2 F4
Alone is the street where you found me
C3 G5
Scared of what's behind you
C3 F2
And scared of what's in front
D4 D
Live with what you have now
D2 F4
And make the best of what's to come

OUTRO:
F E X2

C4 D2 A C4 D2 A
So you are the sun that leads me,
C4 D2 A C4 D2 A
You are the moon that pulls me,
C4 D2 A C4 D2 A
So you are the sun that leads me,
C4 D2 A C4 D2 A
You are the moon that pulls me

C4 D2 A
